India
This India travel blog is a repository of all the articles I have written on the destination – over 150 to date.
Being an India based blogger, I travelled to more Indian destinations than the entire world put together. I quit my corporate career in England as a documentary film-maker, moved back to my country and became a blogger. Since 2016, I have only been travelling and writing about my journeys on this blog.
So far, I have been to nearly 25 Indian states and 30 countries in total. And when I say BEEN TO it means thoroughly travelled – eg one month in Gujarat, two months in Rishikesh, that sort.
Since I am Delhi based and mountains are my first love, I spend most of my time in the Himalayas. I even started a camping business in the Himachal Pradesh under the brand name ‘Footloosecamps’ (see Footloosecamps.com or the Instagram Page for more).
The following India travel blog talks about all you need to know. They are destination guides, travel tips and detailed city and road-trip itineraries. Most of my trips are self-planned with a few of them being a FAM trip conducted under the respective destination’s tourism board – like Goa Tourism Board, Assam Tourism Board etc.
But however I travelled, these blogs are written keeping a normal person’s budget and time in mind. Eg, if I spent 2 weeks in Manali, I wrote a 2 or 3 days itinerary on Manali (because I understand that is what most people can afford).
Now let’s get started with all that I have written on India…
If Dawki River is one of Meghalaya’s top tourist destinations and Meghalaya is proud of it, then let’s be honest, tourism in Meghalaya is going in wrong direction!

Update April 2024: To my surprise, Sajla water has become very popular of late. There are Maggi shops right in the waterfall area. Earlier, it used to be just pure nature. The first time I visited the place, in 2021, I spent about an hour there without seeing a face, but this time, as I

As I travelled across this town and clicked these Hampi photos I wondered how many times this place fell prey to human greed. It felt as I walked across its empty ruins, that people submitted themselves to the insatiable thirst to acquire more and looted Hampi generation after generation. And then they returned again, and

Before I start my Varanasi travel guide. I want to impart knowledge of some facts, states and affairs. Varanasi can feel wild, particularly to those who are new to Indian culture. Watching dead bodies lit on fire, and naked sadhus whitewashed in ash, can scare you to a degree that you would not want to
